Five of David Brownschidles
friends traveled with him to Little
Compton, R.I., a beach about a
half hour from their home in
Providence.
The six hockey players, cur-
rent students and recent gradu-
ates of Brown University, wanted
to get away for the afternoon after
being cooped up inside during
Hurricane Irenes wrath.
It was only a few days after the
storm ravaged the Northeast, but
the guys were ready to have fun at
the beach, said Brownschidle, a
2011 Brown University graduate
who grew up in Lawrence Town-
ship.
With surfboards and boogie
boards in tow, the six men hit the
beach, only to find that much of
the sand had eroded as a result of
the storm.
After about five minutes on
shore, Brownschidle said his
friends heard screams from the
water. There were no lifeguards
on duty, so the group of men, five
of which had no formal lifesaving
training, immediately sprung
into action.
The men fought a strong rip
current about 30 feet out to swim
to two girls, who were about 13
years old, he said. The two girls
had ended up in a part of the
ocean where no one else was
swimming and were trying to get
back to shore, but couldnt be-
cause of the current. It took most
of the men to help the two girls
get safely back on the sand,
Brownschidle said.
I had been stuck once before
in a rip current in Central Ameri-
ca. My mom always said to swim
parallel to the shore, so thats
what we did, Brownschidle said.
Fifteen feet deeper out to sea
was one of the girls friends, a boy
in his early teens. One of Brown-
schidles friends, who once served
as a pool lifeguard, swam out to
the boy with the surfboard.

Special to The Sun
Lawrence Intermediate School will unveil its robotics lab for fifth-grade students at the fifth-
grade Back-to-School (BTS) Night on Oct. 4. Above, a group of students tests out the new lab dur-
ing the beginning of the school year. For more information, see page 5.
Brownschidle said his friend
knew exactly what to do and how
to transport him back to shore.
He kept talking to the boy to help
try and keep him conscious,
Brownschidle added.
Once everyone had safely ar-
rived back at shore, an adult who
was with the three swimmers left
with them, presumably heading
to the hospital, Brownschidle
said.
The three swimmers could
barely talk and walk and ap-
peared scared, he added.
The boy was really out of it.
He was in shock, Brownschidle
said. One of the girls said, You
guys really saved our lives. I
couldnt swim, I was dead tired.
Brownschidle said even he and
his friends were lucky to be there
at the right time.
Now looking back, were
lucky we were all there. It was
tough swimming on a boogie
board to them. We could have
been in trouble ourselves, he
said. Were still shocked and in
disbelief. Were just really lucky.

B
y now almost everyone has
heard the dire warning: If the
Postal Services finances arent
fixed by next summer, mail delivery
stops.
Now, ordinarily, folks would shrug
off such words as hyperbole. But, only
a few weeks ago, the nation teetered
on fiscal default, so, these days, we all
have to pay attention.
Will the Postal Service close?
Theres perhaps the most remote
chance that it will, but, probably not.
Especially since there are a number of
solutions already on the table.
First, end Saturday delivery. It
would inconvenience some, but it
wont be that big of a deal once every-
one gets used to it.
Second, downsize employees and
close facilities. Every company has to
examine its expenditures. If it makes
sense to lay off some employees and
close some post offices, do it.
Third, expand the non-postal servic-
es provided at post offices. They al-
ready handle passports, for example.
So long as any extras dont give a
government agency an unfair advan-
tage over the private sector, have at it.
But really big money can be found
when lawmakers look at a pre-funded
retiree health benefits commitment
and billions of dollars the service said
it overpaid into a retirement fund.
Our guess is that some combination
of the above, with maybe a few other
ideas tossed in, will keep the mail
flowing for now.
Going forward, though, the Postal
Service should have the flexibility to
adapt to new technology, changing
times and increased competition. Cou-
ple that with budgetary mandates that
include mandatory spending cuts if
goals arent hit, and you have the basis
of a plan that could keep the mail com-
ing for years to come.
The mail isnt here yet
And some say that, come next summer, it never will get here
The postal problems
Would you miss Saturday postal deliv-
ery? What are your thoughts on
restructuring the Postal Service?

Drugs, burglary and ... tortoises?
Kenneth Cayre is out
of the pot game
Kenneth Cayre will no longer be at the
center of New Jerseys nonprofit medical
marijuana centers, not after federal bank-
ruptcy filings released details of his in-
volvement in elaborate Ponzi schemes.
The Star-Ledger uncovered Cayres con-
nection to Solomon Dwek, a scam artist
and informant in a 2009 sting that led to
charges against 46 defendants in New Jer-
sey and New York. Because of that, Cayre
was removed from the Compassionate
Care Centers of America Foundation,
which is a planned medical marijuana clin-
ic in Central Jersey.
Mr. Cayre has been terminated from
our Advisory Board and has no position or
relationship of any kind with Compassion-
ate Care Centers of America Foundation,
Inc., Michael Weisser, one of the centers
directors, said in a letter to The Star-
Ledger.
In a sworn statement for the bankruptcy
court, Cayre has denied any wrongdoing or
close association with Dwek.
Looks like its so long for Cayre, but at
least it looks like the Compassionate Care
Centers are safe. We can still get our pot
legally.

Family has home burglarized
while they were evacuated
As if they needed any more problems,
the Times of Trenton is reporting that a
Lawrence family who evacuated their
home for Hurricane Irene returned to find
that $10,000 in personal items had been
stolen while they were gone. Has all re-
spect in this world gone out the window?
The family was ordered to leave their
home during the flooding. The home was
severely damaged, with water causing a
basement wall to collapse. The township
inspector even condemned the building.
But that, apparently, wasnt enough. On
Sept. 9, when one of the family members
went back to check on the property, they
found jewelry, tools, gaming consoles and
electronics had been taken. Police say they
have no reports of other break-ins in the
area during the storm.

These bath salts
werent for bathing
Its all the rage, these days. Bath salts
is what it is known as synthetic chemical
powders that people use as drugs. Its a
toxic chemical that is now illegal because
it causes gruesome outbursts of violence,
self-mutilation and suicide.
Six people in Central Jersey are now
hoping they didnt get mixed up in the
game. Working together, the Middlesex
County Prosecutors Gangs, Guns and
Drugs Task Force, and police in New
Brunswick, East Brunswick and Sayreville
conducted a series of narcotics raids that
led to the seizure of more than $163,000 in
synthetic marijuana, bath salts, $25,145
in cash and other drug paraphernalia.
The MyCentralJersey report says the
drugs were being sold at three smoke shops
and a gas station convenience store in the
county.
This successful initiative shows just
how aggressively the Middlesex County
Prosecutors Task Force is working to halt
the sale, distribution and use of bath salts
and other dangerous designer drugs, said
Thomas R. Calcagni, director of the Divi-
sion of Consumer Affairs.
The raids began in August after a four-
month investigation into illegal sales.

A Highlands resident has been charged
with eight counts of animal cruelty and
possession of an exotic species without a
permit for owning four rare Aldabra tor-
toises. Neighbors heard moans, but the
couple who had the tortoises say they
were a mating call, not a cry of sadness.
